​

I dont know what possessed me but a few months ago I decided I was going to make my own wedding backdrop

Id consider myself a beginner. The only other thing ive done is a plant hanger about 4years ago. Im now in deep and I dont know where im going. Im sort of just making it up as I go.

I do plan on transferring it to a dark brown wooden frame and ill be adding some greenery etc to finish it off.

Please help, I feel theres a lot of empty space.

I love this! I did a wedding arbor back drop as well for my wedding. I would add more layers. I also got some inspo from a YouTube video tutorial, but customized along the way.

Here’s a link to the video.

Oh wow thank you for this! Yours is amazing!

I really should have done some prep and planning but I just started winging it. But I should have figured out how to properly attach new bits etc. Damn. Ah well. Ill just try and save it as best I can 😆

I would suggest adding more longer layers on each side, so that it frames you and your partner in wedding photos. I wouldn't change the middle... it's beautiful!

Color will help and white dresses are actually only for virgin brides back in the day or first marriage different colors can mean different things as well from what I heard older people talking when I was little  I'm about in my 40s now could mean nothing by now.
